AGED BEAUTIES.



Though Not Yong.
History is full Of the accounts Of the
fascination of women who were no
longer young. Thus, Helen Of Troy
was over forty when she perpetrated
the most famous elopement ON record,
and as the siege of Troy lasted de-
cade she could not have been very
Juvenile when the ill-fortune Of Paris
restored her 10 her husband, who is re-
ported to have received her with un-
questioning love and gratitude. Peri
cles welded Aspasia when she was
thirty-six, and yet she afterwards, for
thirty years or more, welded an undi-
minishod reputation for beauty. Cleo
patra was past thirty when Antony fell
under her spell, which never lessened
until her death, nearly ten years after;
and Livia was thirty-three when she
won the heart of Augustus, over whom
she maintained her ascendancy to the
last.
Turning TO more modern history,
where il is possible toverify dates more
accurately, we have the extraordinary
De Poictiers, who was thirty-six when
Heury IT.-then Duke of Orleans, and
just half her age-becamc attached to
her, and she was held MS the first lady
and the most beautiful woman at court
up to the period of the monarcb's death
and tie accession to power of Cath
crime de Medicis.
Ammo of Austria was thirty-eight
when she was described rs the hand
somest Queen of Europe and when
Buckingham and Richelcu were jeal-
Gus admirers.
Ninon dc IEnclos, the most ccle-
bratcd wit and beauty of the day, was
the idol of three generations of the
golden youth of France, and she
was seventy-two when the Able dc
Berais fell in love with her True it is
that in the case Of this lady rare com
bination Of culture, talents and personal
attractions endowed their possessor
seemingly with the gifts of eternal
youth. Louis XIV. married Mime. dc
Maintenon when she was forty-threc
years of age. Catherine III. of Russia
was thirty-three when she seized the
empire of Russia and captivated the
dashing young General OrloG. Up to
the time of her death-at sixty-seven-
she seemed to have retained the same
bewitching powers, for the lamenta-
tions were heartfelt among all those
who had ever known her personally.
Mile. Mars, the celebrated French
tragedienne, only attained the zenith
of her beauty and power between forty
and forty-fvc. At that period the
lovelness of her hands and arms espe-
cially were celebrated throughout
Europe. The famous Nine. Recamier
was thirty-eight when Barras was
ousted from power, and she was with
out dispute declared to be the most
beautiful woman in Europe, which
rank she held 10, fifteen years ---Ameri-

How to Make Invisible Ink.

Invisible ink Is made Of several sub
stances, but the most curious known Is
that made from cobalt II Is very
remarkable phenomenon that this ink
may be made to disappear and reap
pear at pleasure. This property is pc
culiar TO inks obtained from cobalt, for
all the other kinds are at first invisible
until some substance has been applied
20 make them appear; but when once
they have appeared, they remain. To
prepare this ink, take zaifre and dis.
solve it in nitro-muriatic acid till the
acid extracts from II the metallic part
Of the cobalt. which communicates to
the zaffre a blue color; then dilute the
solution, which Is very acrid, with
common water. II you write with this
liquid on paper, the characters will be
inyisiblei but when exposed TO a suiIi-
cient degree of heat they will become
green. When the paper has cooled
they will disappear. Observe, If the
paper be too much heated they will not
disappear at ALL = Chicago Inter Ocean.
